Three Ways to Open a Buttonhole

I know a lot of people are afraid of buttonholes, but the truth for me is that I would rather sew buttonholes and buttons than inserting a zipper. There’s something classic about buttons and buttonholes that can’t be broken like a zipper or snaps. I really love buttons and buttonholes on children’s’ clothing because of the extra details it adds.

I’ve opened buttonholes in the same way for years and years. More than a decade. I had learned a certain way how to open buttonholes and didn’t realize there was different ways.

I wanted to test some different ways to open a buttonhole, and found three that I prefer. These are the ones I’ll use in the future depending on my fabric and project.
